• A limited company must include its name on all company documents, publicity and letters, and on business letters, order forms and websites it must also show its registered number, its registered office address and where it is registered. GOV.UK: company names on websites
• Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee
• You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing

Three steps to a website for your Dobwalls business

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. It all runs online, so a Dobwalls business gets the same plan as anyone.

1. Tell us about the business in the sign-up form, which takes about 5 minutes; the rest goes by email.
2. We build the website with your brand on a tested template and share a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. Approve the site and pay the first month: only then does it go live on your domain.

After launch, you keep asking for changes by email: a new photo, an updated price, a new service. They are part of the monthly fee.
